I thought that I'd had all the germination that I was going to, but another one showed through today. That's five weeks since sowing I think! I wonder whether it will do. At least it's not going to get leggy this side of Christmas!

I should have said, then put in your unheated greenhouse.
Lid off during the day - on at night.

Bet it will be your star performer, ommthree.
Germination normally takes between 7 & 21 days, but (for me) feel 7 days indicates too much warmth...21 days producing much better seedlings.
7 days will not produce strong seedlings 2 much heat
21 days will produce stronger healthier plants.
David i have a slatted fence would it be better to grow the sweet peas on a net or spacing them out on garden wire .
Wills - Your supports will need to be 6 to 8 feet tall.
Probably (if it's high enough) your slatted fence draped with some plastic pea netting would be the way to go.
